I've never had a colonoscopy but I imagine reading the news in America is like having one but the tube has metal spikes on it and the opening is lined with honey and ants.

The last fifty years of Bears:
Good: Lovie Smith era
Better: Mike Ditka era
Best: Ben Johnson era!

Imagine showing a petrol engine to someone who had only known electric vehicles, and trying to convince them to switch to petrol. No-one would choose the dirty, noisy, less efficient, more expensive vehicle. This isn't 1910, hostage to gender insecurity. We can just choose the better tech.

Bears ran a trick play that resulted in a Caleb Williams interception. On the next snap, he impressively side-armed a pass on the money to Colston Loveland.
Attendance update: Cole Kmet is back. No Roschon Johnson or Kiran Amegadjie.

Bears ran an end-of-half situation. Caleb Williams completed a couple passes to Rome Odunze and one to Olamide Zaccheaus. Kyle Monangai ran for a first down. Jonathan Kim hit a 47-yard field goal. Bears win.

Remember that video from the net drill? Bears QB Caleb Williams said it's a quick-delivery drill, no laces, aim for bottom left corner. As for the reaction to it?
"I just laugh at it," Williams said. "I was competing and I missed it and it was fake anger that I had, that I showed."

But if you believe in Ben Johnson, then what we heard from the newest Bears this week might matter a little more. Story from Halas Hall www.nytimes.com/athletic/620...

The Bears. Did something that made sense. Those two sentences aren’t often combined into one sentence. I hope it happens more often as we move into the future.

As the Vikings approach their 7th win in a row, it got me thinking about Bears win streaks. Well, lack thereof.
Since 2013 (post-Lovie Smith), here are the number of times NFC North teams have won 4+ in a row (via @stathead):
Packers 13
Vikings 8
Lions 5
Bears 2 — both in 2018
